Compositions

“Beautifully composed.” “The undercurrent is real, whether implied via harmony or via the darker timbres of the orchestra.” “Hebel clearly has a strong social conscience.”
—Fanfare Magazine

“Playful and ominous at the same time.” “Provoking of thought.” “Very profound.” “[Hebel] definitely has something to say.”
—New Haven Independent

“Instantly relatable, because it is so very human.” “Barbed with weight, and soft with possibility.” “Exquisite.”
—Arts Paper, Arts Council of Greater New Haven

“Extremely exciting and brilliant.”
—Curtis Stewart, American Composers Orchestra Artistic Director on NPR

“...intriguingly subtle, complex, and innovative.”
—JoAnn Falletta, Grammy-winning conductor

“Powerful, emotional, and meaningful.” “A fascinating conception and beautifully realized.”
—Kenneth Fuchs, Grammy-winning composer

“Audacious in length and concept. Fearless in style and content. Mahler-esque…command of the idiom and the instrument as a whole is excellent.”
—David Katz, Chief Judge of The American Prize
